🩹⚽ Therapists in non-league football — this one’s for us.
After years of waiting (sorry im a huge procrastinator), we’ve finally created something that’s long overdue:
The Non-League Therapist Support Group.
Let me tell you why it matters 🧵
I have to mention what a superstar physio Carly from @glebefootball is
We heard a shout that someone collapsed in the car park which turned out to be the in the next ground along & she jumped a fence to get a defib to the person 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What an absolute hero! 🫶 #HeroPhys
Everyone who is saying thoughts & prayers for Eriksen
With the greatest respect forget the prayers & sign yourself up for a 1st aid / basic life support class. The lesson to learn from this is the importance of prompt assessment, diagnosis & chest compressions until help comes
It’s taken me 11 years, 7 months and 18 days from that first solo physio evening at Greenwich Borough but I can finally say I have physio’d at a premier league ground with my team
And I am all the happier to have done it with my @sedonsfc brothers.
🥲
My physio mantra has always been the same: Don’t strive to make your presence noticed, just your absence felt
Thank you @sedonsfc. You’ve been the making of me, personally & professionally
I won’t say goodbye as there are never any goodbyes in football
Family 💚
To all those moaning about games being called off: If you fancy helping me get on a train to Essex with all this lot it’ll be much appreciated… & bear in mind I have a full time job in a hospital to get back for in the morning 🤦🏽♀️
We give football a lot every week. Be kind ❤️
There is a very special bond & friendship between a player & their physio… that’s why my physio door is always open ❤️
FYI I’ve also had CBT training so it could literally turn into a therapy session 🤓

Ran on today for other side & all I could hear as I was treating the lad was @big_gkam saying:
“Don’t worry he’s in good hands Ally’s the best. Don’t worry she will look after him”
Honestly, don’t ever underestimate the importance of being believed in 🥰🥲#myteam@sedonsfc
Dear football clubs and managers,
Im going to be real. There’s not a lot of physios out there right now. Trust the days of voluntary work / whip rounds is gone. The age of a solid physio being harder to obtain that a 30 goal a season striker may be about to begin…
It’s the tweet I’ve been delaying sending. But the time is right
Sadly I confirm I’m leaving @OfficialWands. I would like to thank everyone at Cray for their love & support the last 6yrs
2 things I know for certain:
Our paths will cross again
We would’ve caught Worthing
💛🖤
